Lunar Eclipse in April 2014

April 15th marks the first of two full lunar eclipses for 2014. This full moon will be passing through the sign of Libra, emphasizing relationships of all sorts. Full moons reveal situations so you may be seeing things more clearly. Lunar energy is also linked to emotions, security needs and our habit patterns. This full moon may be shining a silvery light onto a new path you are meant to take in life. Major life transitions often occur with eclipses. Weary, worn parts of our lives may get eclipsed, making room for new people, ideas and exciting events to be heralded in. Usually these changes are not sudden but have been brewing in the wings for a long while.

Sometimes, however, eclipses can be the wild card in the game of 5 card stud! When that happens, expect transformative change to flip your life upside down. How you choose to ride this tsunami is up to you. Best piece of advice: The Universe never tosses you a joker unless you are ready to handle it or need it to grow. Look to the houses affected to see where the major life events might unfold. And remember, follow the north node of the moon…that is where your greatest blessings lie for they will help to bring in the new experiences you need to stay on top of the chaos.

During this Libran eclipse, try to see things through the eyes of the other people in your life. Balance and harmony will help you to sort things out. How can you change your relationship energy to make you a better person? If you aren’t happy with the relationships around you, what can you do to improve them? You are closing down a 19 year cycle with this eclipse, so look backwards in time and reflect on all that you have learned so you can carry those gifts forward onto your newly emerging path.

As you continue your cosmic journey, consider a few things. How heavy is your baggage? Are you carrying things from long ago that are simply weighing you down? Is all that “stuff” still necessary or good for you? If you don’t like what you have co-created, what can you change about your interactions with others that can help you to achieve better results? Since eclipses can sometimes indicate a loss, take this opportunity to learn what you need to in order to move forward.

At the same time that the eclipse is happening, the Grand Cardinal Cross is solidifying once again in April, so you are likely feeling yanked in all directions. The Universe is asking you to let go of that which no longer serves your higher self. Make choices that will empower you as a spiritual being. If you have felt dead or stagnant in your life, now is the time for positive growth in a different direction. The wild card aspect of the eclipse is likely to surprise you if you have been unwilling to make the changes your life is screaming for…that is when “surprises” happen. Time to quit bluffing. Put your true cards on the table and ante up. Trying to maintain a poker face and a false handful of cards is no longer going to fool anyone.

While the eclipse is eclipsing and the Grand Cardinal Cross is stretching you, consider that there are even more energies afoot that add complexity to what is going on. Hovering near the south node of the moon, you will also find the Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Juno, all in the firy sign of Aries. (Think trail blazer, rebellion, independence, progressive thinking, cutting edge ideas and brutal honesty.) These are in direct opposition to the moon, the north node, Ceres and Mars in Libra. (Cooperation, working things out within a group, social networking, finding a means to feed your soul, drive for achieving your goals).

With rocket fuel loaded at the tail end of this eclipse (south node in Aries) there is bound to be a lot of fire, will, instability and excitement but this can all prove to be a bit disruptive if the energy is not harnessed well. Aries likes to blaze new paths but it doesn’t always come up with long-range plans. So though the ride is sure to be hair-raising and exciting, it might be good to think a little about your final destination point as well. Balance your maverick, new age edge with the thoughts, needs and opinions of others. Planning and networking with others (Mars in Libra) may be in order. We are all wired completely differently and we do not see things the same way.

Allow yourself to explore new ideas. Remember, our spirits want to breathe us! As with all oppositions, you simply need to balance the duality of self vs. other (Aries vs. Libra)….and yet have the nerve to close the chapters in our lives that really need to be closed.

Alexander Graham Bell put it well when he said, “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” The Universe always provides an open door…so focus forward my friends, and let your spirits soar on through it.

Stumbled on your blog surfing…looking for clues about next month and this coming new moon 3/30 as I have conjunctions at progressed venus in aries and moon in cap. My natal card. Sq. falls 1st, 4, 7th and 10. Natal mars in 7 but at 6.24 Though a Sag. riser at 14 may get jostles.
After reading a lot of warnings re: disaster, I’d like to think that the shift will be positive mainly unjamming stuff. I don’t know about anyone else but this complete overhaul has been going on a Loooooong time and it’s blocks at every turn unless my motivations are in alignment with higher good for others and my financial fears(read not feeling supported by LIFE) are NOT forefront which if course they always are…So maybe this’ll blow the doors wide open! Into some really great adventure.. Thanks for the blog and also the info on DOUG DOES LIFE. That’s fun and helpful. Looking forward to more.

Thank you for your comment. I do believe we are all feeling the pressure of the square and I think a lot of it is about waking up in this life. When we listen to our higher selves I do think we always win…though we may not realize it at first. Letting go of ego attachments that we identify with can make it hard to open up to that truth we hold within ourselves. With houses 1, 4, 7 and 10 being affected, it does seem like you are doing a lot of work on yourself. Learning to love yourself opens you up to loving others…and the work you do in the 4th house (which is about exploring your emotional roots and childhood) gets reflected in the 10th. So healing wounds of long ago will give you a firm base to stand upon and that base lets you shine your light out into the world. I wouldn’t worry about what’s upcoming at all. Really. Because everything can be used for growth when the light of awareness is focussed on whatever goes down. God speed…and namaste.

Great piece. I too have been dreading April but I have been itching for some major changes for about 6 months now. I made a major move (another country, another life) 19 years ago, how bizarre to see that that is the end of a 19 year cycle! Many thanks for the reassurance, I am very excited to see what April brings and what direction it will reveal to me.

Tealrunner, trust me, you will be ok. Nothing comes to us unless it is needed for our growth. We draw to ourselves that which we need with our thoughts. Speaking of which..there is a very powerful new moon today so it is an excellent day to set intentions for what you want to manifest next. Energy flow where thoughts go and this is a powerful time to make your wishes come true.

Hello I don’t want to sound like a dumb ass I don’t know anything about charts my birthday is April 20th 1987. Will any of this affect me since I was born in April? 6 months ago my life went up side down due to a decision I made. I didn’t get the abortion my daughters father wanted me to get. I have not heard from him in 6 months. I wonder if this is driving him crazy if he cares… Basically he keeping this secret from his girlfriend. Am his pregnant EX gf, also the mother of his first daughter. Will my situation change due to this blood moon? I will never forgive him but I just need closure. I suffered enough.

Jenna, I do think what is happening in the sky is also happening to us on a personal level. You made a decision based on your heart…how can that be wrong? Perhaps the truth you are waking up to is that you deserve better in your life. Full moon eclipses often reveal a situation so you can see things more clearly so that you can make wise, empowering decisions for your life’s direction. I wish you well in every possible way.

You are welcome. I think we always know the truth inside of our own selves…we just need to learn to listen and to trust ourselves. You are more powerful and deserving than you know Jenna. Yo deserve good, supportive people in your life. Take care.

Jenna, Watch what you learn about some situation around the 14th-15th of April…jot it down. Then pay attention again around the 28th to 29th of April. Solar eclipses (the end of April) often herald in endings…often ones that have brewing in the wings for a while. Remember, though, the Universe always opens another door when one closes so set your very best intentions for April. Concentrate on the good you want to manifest in your life…and let me know what happens. April will be a game changer for many of us.
Peace and Blessings, Soul Passages

This Aries Sun and Aries Rising ( 4/16/63 ) with Capricorn ( 17 degrees moon ) and Venus in Pisces in the 12tth can not decipher this mess for herself! So any outside insight would greatly be appreciated! Thank you!!

Lori, what city/state or city/country were you born in? And do you know your time of birth? That would give me more to go on to help provide answers. I will say this though…the general theme is change and feeling like we are being pulled in opposing directions. The lunar eclipse should reveal something fully in your life. Then, towards April 20-24 that feeling of being stretched by life to the 4 corners of the earth will settle in. Follow that up w/ a solar eclipse around the 28th/29th of April and there is likely to be both an ending of something that has been brewing for a while; as well as the opportunity for a new beginning. To say more would require more input from you…but being an Aries, I do imagine you are feeling all of this quite keenly right now, am I correct?

Hi Soul Passages. My name is Andrea 08/09 born Florence SC born btwn 9-10 am
My question is… why does the universe seem to be removing every man I meet ? there have been 7 I have met since January, two I was interested in. One very much so
(10-18) who is only 2 months divorced, so I understand he needs more time to heal. But I want someone now, why is the timing always off with every man I meet??? I have been divorced for 12 years and want a loving,committed partner for life, I am so over dating. I want to settle in and be done !!! Any insight ?

Andrea, what year were you born? That would help to answer your question but in the meantime, you might try creating a dream board of the ideal man. Cut out pictures and images of the type of person you want to draw in. Focus intently on the characteristics and traits you admire. Think positively, knowing that you are drawing in the right person. There is a book called Calling in the One that might help too…it will help you to imagine what you want in a creative fashion and bring him forth!

Jenna, I am assuming you are still in Florence, SC so if that is not the case what I am about to say may not ring true for you for it all depends upon location. If you are, what I am seeing is this. I see a strong need for you to get in touch with what you truly value and to discover your own talents and how you can use them to become self-sufficient. By becoming stronger in your own self, especially in regards to income, you can then become clearer on what you really want in a relationship. I can clearly see the desire for a partnership right now w/ your moon and mars in libra in your 8th house as well as your north node. Heading in the direction of the north node is a good idea for it generally brings blessings but it can be scary territory…and the 8th house is the house of intimacy. To draw in a good person, I would advise doing some things that will lift your spirits. Don’t give up on your life goals…keep inching forward towards them, but also be realistic. Is the plan you have devised for yourself truly your dream or someone elses? Is it accomplishable? If not, then perhaps it is time to re-evaluate things. Anything you truly want is worth putting in the effort for. Again, this comes back to what is it that you truly value and desire in your life. Get solid on that and then start chipping away at that, even if that means creating a new plan. As you get happier and more grounded in yourself, your chances of meeting the right person, for the right reasons should follow. Hope that helps.

I’m at Geo3Rs@att.net…and I am sorry to hear that. I mean that most sincerely. In order for me to be able to better help you, I will need your date of birth, hour and minute you were born (or as close to it as possible) and your city/state of birth.

I wanted to wait all these transit out before I say how I was affected. I was not affected by April 15th eclipse or April 29th eclipse. I thought I was because my life changed 6 months ago on the nov 2013 eclipse when I became pregnant by my ex/ father of my first Daughter. Like I said on here b4 he had a gf when he got me pregnant and has hidden this pregnancy from her all these months. I have not heard from him since nov 2013. He is a Gemini and I thought this eclipse was going to reaveal his dark secret. I really don’t know anything about any of them I keep myself away very far away. But there u have it. I wanted to wait Nd see what happens in my life or his secret life but nothing so far. Thanks have a good one.
